More Antlers!

A cute 4 point on an aqua scuffed plaque covered with some tan tweed and accented with brown upholstery cord. They are officially listed on our shop: Listed Here




Unfortunately, the photos turned out a little dark. It's so hard to find good lighting in the winter months. I love the texture of the fabric. We finally lucked into some more antlers so we have some more in the works.

Chalkboards!

My mom and I have been collecting frames forever meaning to make them into chalkboards and we're finally getting some done.

Here are the first two we have completely done.





So cute right!? The green was hard to get good pictures of because the room was really bright. It's a celery color. They're even cuter in person than the pictures. We have more almost all done-we just need  to get the boards cut out for the chalkboard part. I just want to keep them all for myself.

Update: The blue chalkboard has been listed on our Etsy store for sale. Find it here

Rocking Chair Redo

I found this cute rocking chair that needed some love and I knew I had to help it. Some wood putty, new paint, scuffing, mod podge, a little decal, and some polyurethane and voila!


So here's the poor thing before (disregard my clutter and my cat and the low quality photo)

























                             and here it is after!

 

Vintage Milk Glass Vases

Ack! I love milk glass vases and I love this idea my mom had to use them! We were thinking they'd be cute for wedding tables-like to write the numbers on.






We have A TON more vases so we'll definitely be making sets up. Keep an eye on our Etsy shop for them!



Update: Here's another set!!
find this set on Etsy here!

Vintage Mason Jar and Buralp Roses Part 2

We've sold the first 2 sets we've made so we're slowly making more. Here's the next one we made. I have to admit, I love these and I was sad to see them go.

Burlap Roses and Vintage Mason Jars

My mom and I threw together some, in my opinion, adorable centerpieces. All it is is vintage teal mason jar, wrapped in twine, burlap flowers, some ribbon, and a chalkboard heart tag. We have 2 listed on our shop.




I'm thinking of making a bunch for my wedding. Although instead of a vintage blue jar I may just buy a bunch of clear and color them to look like sea glass with food coloring and glue. We'll see. If the sea glass thing works out I'm thinking of making sets to sell for people to buy for their wedding tables. Sometimes these blue jars a hard to come by.

Aaahh!! Plush Monsters

I'm so in love with these little plush monsters I've been making. I've taken a little break from making them because I didn't want my house to become filled with them.
I gave one to my 5 year old nephew for Christmas and my brother loved it so much he wanted one too. I'm thinking of making a few and putting the on the Etsy shop to see how the do?


My personal favorite is the red guy. The green one went to my nephew for Christmas, so he wasn't able to hang on the rocking chair for the group photos. Oh, and I feel compelled to mention that the green guy looks a little odd in the picture because he wasn't completely sewn up when I took that picture but that was the only one I had of him.
